What to Pack in Your Hospital Bag So, you’re having a baby! Congrats. It’s one of the most wonderful (and most terrifying) times in your life. I’ve had two of my own little humans, so between that and having photographed a LOT of births in the Baton Rouge area, I’ve learned a thing or two […]

This. Family. Let me tell you about this family, guys. They *get* it – they really get the value of birth images – the value of images in general, really. This was the second time that I had the privilege of photographing a birth for them. And I was not joking when I told them that […]

It’s always a pleasure, photographing a birth at Woman’s Hospital in Baton Rouge. I documented this birth for a fellow photographer recently, and got the opportunity to meet this lovely couple and watch their beautiful little boy come into the world–and it was such a pleasure! I’ve often been asked how we birth photographers juggle […]

I’m *so* excited that these two decided that they wanted to document their birth story. Jacky and Sunny are good friends of mine, and they were initially a little hesitant about the prospect of birth photography (understandably!). Since they weren’t finding out the gender beforehand, though, they ultimately decided that they did want to document […]

I got to be a Birth Photographer for one of my favorites at the Woman’s Hospital. Kayla is a labor and delivery nurse with whom I’ve worked before. She is legitimately one of the sweetest people I know. I was so glad to be there with her and her gorgeous little family for this new […]

YOU GUYS. I’ve got a story to tell you about this little bit named Nora Rose, right here. This kid has got the strongest mama imaginable, I’m not even kidding. Ashley went through a long and painful labor with little Nora turned sideways and digging in her heels a bit. She gave it all that she had. Mama […]

Okay, friends – gather ’round. You’ve got questions about birth photography, I know, so let’s talk about them. What Is Birth Photography? If you’re here, odds are that sometime in the not-so-recent past, you decided to look into birth photography. Maybe a friend of yours had a session done, and you fell in love with […]

So you’ve heard the term “Fresh 48” – but what is it?   Baby Kai, here, is going to help me with a little show and tell session, today. (Everybody say hi, Kai!)   A Fresh 48 session is a session I perform at the hospital. Within the first 48 hours of your baby’s birth. […]

Baby Corbin’s Baton Rouge Birth Photography Oh, Baby Corbin…you couldn’t possibly be any more loved! This little bit right here made his grand entrance into the world last Thursday at Woman’s Hospital in Baton Rouge, and I had the very great pleasure of being one of the first people there in the room to welcome […]

April is National C-Section Month, in the event that you’ve missed the memo. Posts seem to be everywhere about it right now, and I absolutely adore all of the positive chatter surrounding it. I just couldn’t resist putting together a blog post of my own on the subject. In large part because I’ve been lucky […]
